"The Placer County Bank Building is a two story Beaux Arts concrete building located in the center of the business district of Auburn. The three Roman arched inset windows, with the door to the bank under the center window, are separated by four Doric pilasters that extend from the two foot high lug sill to the frieze. The symmetrical front elevation has a door on the ground floor and window on the second story at each end of the building. Between the end windows and doors are terra cotta wreaths. The frieze is adorned with the name “Placer County Bank” in the center and “1913” on each side that are incised and decorated with gold leaf. The building is located in the commercial district of Auburn on Lincoln Way. There is a two-story addition to the building in the back. The building has been well maintained and is in excellent condition." (
